NOTHINGNESS
G-d created the Universe out of Nothing
Nothingness....an unestimable void
Blackness
Silence
Serenity
Peace
Stillness
Perfectness
The T.V. show, "The Outer Limits", where the t.v. screen would flash and then quickly revert to a straight line--the same straight line that's displayed on an electronic heart monitor, positioned above the head of a patient in a hospital room, seconds after they've passed away.
If you can imagine for a moment this same straight line, nothing above it, nothing below it. It seems to be just a senseless mark of some kind; maybe a place holder--yet it is so much more. It is ready to unleash its vibrant energy. It is an immense formula pregnant with possibilities. It has concealed, congealed and coagulated and is in a "holding" pattern until some one or some thing sparks it into motion. It is a starting point for something great to happen--something beyond any human being's wildest imagination. Something so magnificent, so monumental, so momentous, so profound, so unfathomable, so indescribable that its mystery is better left unknown. It is like a ball of yarn that falls off Grannie's lap and quickly unrolls across the floor. It knows where it's going. Granny was just the catalyst for getting it started on its journey (or maybe the cat).
It is the absolutism of perfection. A starting point, an entry point for something to happen. All it needs is the spark and that would be a singular thought to start the process of putting things in motion. Thoughts are energy. Everything in the universe is energy.
When you decide you want to start a business you pour alot of thought and investigation (energy) into just the right product you want to market and sell.
There are many questions as to how our universe was created. The Scientists will never find out. I believe they weren't meant to. They'll just have to be content with probing and equating and making small baby steps as the answers they do stumble upon, when put all together, would make them go mad. Maybe that's why so many scientists look weird...hair that's all dishevelled like they stuck their fingers in a electric socket. Interesting faces, all lines and frowns, that haven't seen the light of day for years because they willingly entombed themselves in the dark recesses of an ancient vault, buried within an old building with ten foot thick walls. They are working feverishly trying to decipher worn out writings of a myriad of scientific formulas on disintegrating yellowed pieces of paper.
When we look up at the night sky, no matter who we are or where we are, we all look up at the same sky. Wouldn't it be nice to consider that this is an unspoken bond between all of us? And this same sky is filled with the same stars, and the same constellations that we are all looking at. Nothing has changed. And if it does, we are all witnesses to the event.
We are all parts of a gigantic jigsaw puzzle. Separately, we cannot see where we fit into this cosmic pattern. But as a whole, it will all become clear.
When I think of the human condition, which has never changed since the days of the cave man, (in fact, I believe it has grown progressively worse) it helps me to refocus on other things. Like how and why we are here. Who and what contributed to our getting a start on this planet? Did we start out as a microbe and gradually, over millions of years, evolve into the human bodies we now inhabit? Or, were we seeded here by others? Aliens. Our celestial ancestors who have never forgotten who and what we are.
There is an interesting saying...we are human beings inhabiting a spiritual body. Hmmm, that is vastly different from the old saying...we are spirit beings inhabiting a human body. Gives one pause to think.
Did it ever occur to anyone that we might be the real aliens? That we might have this alien thing all wrong? That the Greys and the Insectoids and the Reptilians are the ones who have managed to put aside their differences, coming together for the good of all, learning from each other and growing together in the vast reaches of space?
We definitely cannot count ourselves in that column.
Religion has had a major effect on controlling people and their way of thinking. Religion is a serious flaw in man's ability to get past certain things. To accept certain things. Not so much for the common man, but for the control freaks in charge. Religion has contrived, connived and been the root cause for so much bloodshed here on Planet Earth.
We, as a species, are evolving toward what? We are more technologically knowledgable, but what else are we? We have Kindles and I-Pads, I-Phones and Blackberrys. We text and talk. But we still have not outgrown our voracious appetite for more and more devices in which to blow each other off the face of the earth. And we still haven't learned to accept one another.
Fifty years from now where will we be? A hundred years?
We are moving toward something, as a whole, but what is it? Is it a universal awakening of some kind? That we will, once and for all, be forced to face ourselves in the cosmic mirror, showing us for what we are? A miserable, comic, squabbling, lustful, hateful, warring group of beings who refuse to embrace the universal cosmic message?
Years ago, turbulence and change were single-minded. One country could be in crisis but the rest of us just kept going along, unmindful of the other person's pain.
Today, everyone and everything on this planet is seemingly undergoing some type of turbulence and change. No one is exempt anymore. The old is giving way to the new.
But what will this "new" be? And will it leave a vacuumk? If so, what will fill it?
Is it time for some one to franctically yell "Tilt" and pull the lever?
How are great men and women made? How is it that we only see these giants of spirit appearing every now and then? Does it take a certain set of circumstances for them to spring forth to lead and guide humanity forward? And hopefully, toward a new and more enlightened path?
If so, where are they? Are they waiting in the wings? Because we certainly need them now.
Are we all collectively on the road to becoming just one big smelly mass of organic matter? An undulating gelatinous blob, bobbing up and down like corks on on the ocean, having no clue as to where we are going, nor even the slightest interest in where we're going to end up?
Or will some one take up the reins of directing us?
I am so tired of those in power who just don't give one whit about anyone but themselves. It's all about me, me and me. The more power I can amass the happier I am. To hell with the rest of you peons.
And the really sad thing about these people is that they are given the green light to invade our lives, take all that we have (leaving us with virtually nothing) and move on.
The Universe is crying..."NO, NO, NO". But they don't listen because in their very warped minds, they don't belong to any club but their own.
Do we carry with us any ounce of responsibility for doing anything worthwhile and good, for the benefit of all? --YES but we're not demonstrating it.
Maybe we humans are getting close to being hooked up to that hospital monitor. We are gasping our last breath as the Drs. and nurses, who have been keeping us alive for eons, now have made the decision to abandon us.
They tired long ago of our lame excuses for not caring about where we were going. Not giving one thought to the well being of our fellow creatures nor where we fit into the cosmos.
Conclusion: We've used up all our chances--we weren't that important enough to save.
Oh, but it was a great run. But did we really have a purpose here on this planet or were we just an experiment that went awry, producing a bunch of bumbling ignobles, our only sorry legacy that of being able to reproduce, consume and kill each other off in fits of manicial frenzy?
I believe there is no way on earth that we are all going to be able to accept one another. The differences between us are just too vast. Maybe an out of this world visit would do the trick. But wouldn't it help if we heard from those who spoke of what unites us as a whole instead of constantly pointing out our differences?
What unites us? We all have one head, two ears, two arms and two legs. We have ten toes and ten fingers. We need food and water to sustain us. We all have needs for security and warmth, friendship and kinship. The majority of us want peace, not war. We love our families. We want stability.
Another straight line may be coming. And everything will cease to be. The Universe will heave a sigh of relief as the Supreme Being does a re-boot.
The mouth of the star gate will close, for awhile.
The Dr. has pronounced humanity dead. He looks at our lifeless bodies and and with a solemn face says to the empty space, "Sorry, for your loss."
Ah, but all is not lost. As stated before, everything starts from nothing.
So maybe next time around, we will willingly seek each other out, not to conquer and subjugate, but to learn from and grow.
Then we will know the true meaningful essence of the word "evolution".
